Privacy Policy (United States)
Effective date: May 12, 2026 · Business / operator: Vorghalxjlixil.world (“we”, “us”, “our”) — U.S.-based operator of this website.
1. Who we are & how to contact us
Postal address: 439 W 2nd Ave, Eugene, OR 97401, United States
Email: team@vorghalxjlixil.world
Phone: +1 (541) 345-4132
This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and retain personal information when you visit vorghalxjlixil.world (the “Site”). The Site publishes editorial content about home herbal tea; it is not an e-commerce store and we do not sell ingestible products here. This policy is written primarily for United States residents and reflects major federal and state privacy expectations. It is not legal advice.
2. Scope & COPPA (children’s privacy)
The Site is directed to a general audience and is not directed to children under 13 years of age. We do not knowingly collect, sell, or share personal information from children under 13 in a manner that violates the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA). If you are a parent or guardian and believe we have received information from a child under 13, contact us using the details above and we will take steps to delete that information promptly, as required by law.
Some U.S. state laws extend additional protections to consumers between 13 and 17, or require consent for certain processing of minors’ data. Where such laws apply, we aim to comply with applicable age-related requirements.
3. Categories of personal information we collect
We collect information that identifies, relates to, or could reasonably be linked with you or your device. For California and similar state-law “notice at collection” purposes, the table below groups data into categories comparable to those used under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA):
- Identifiers: name, email address, phone number if you provide it, IP address, and similar contact or device identifiers.
- Commercial information: records of products or services you inquire about in a message (for example, a topic you ask about). We do not sell ingestible goods through this Site, so we do not collect purchase histories, carts, or shipping addresses for our own product sales here.
- Internet or other electronic network activity: browser type, operating system, referring/exit pages, date/time stamps, and pages viewed on the Site, collected through logs or analytics technologies if enabled.
- Geolocation data (non-precise): general location derived from IP address (such as city or region), not precise GPS from this Site by default.
- Inferences: we may infer general interests (for example, interest in herbal tea content) from pages you view if analytics are enabled.
We do not intentionally collect sensitive personal information as defined under the CPRA (such as government ID numbers, precise geolocation, racial or ethnic origin, health information, genetic data, or contents of mail/email) except what you voluntarily type into a contact form. Do not send us medical records, financial account numbers, or government ID numbers through the Site.
4. Sources of personal information
- Directly from you when you fill out forms, subscribe to an email list field, or communicate with us.
- Automatically when you use the Site (cookies, pixels, server logs) as described in our Cookie Policy.
- Third parties such as analytics or advertising partners only if those technologies are deployed and you consent where required; embedded content providers (for example, map or font hosts) may receive technical data when you load those features.
5. Purposes for which we use personal information
- To operate, maintain, and secure the Site.
- To respond to your messages and fulfill your requests.
- To measure aggregate traffic and improve content layout (if analytics are enabled).
- To comply with law, enforce our Terms of Use, and protect rights, safety, and property.
- For marketing measurement only if you enable optional marketing cookies or otherwise opt in, as applicable.
We process personal information only for compatible, disclosed purposes and retain it no longer than reasonably necessary for those purposes (see Retention below).
6. Disclosure of personal information; “sale” and “sharing”
We may disclose personal information to service providers and contractors who assist us (for example, website hosting, email delivery, or analytics) under written terms that limit their use of the data to providing services to us.
We do not sell your personal information for monetary consideration. Some state laws define “sale” broadly to include certain exchanges of data for non-monetary valuable consideration, or define “sharing” for cross-context behavioral advertising. If we ever engage in processing that constitutes a “sale” or “sharing” under applicable U.S. state law, we will provide the legally required notice and opt-out mechanisms, including honoring Global Privacy Control (GPC) and similar universal opt-out preference signals where our systems support detection and where required by law.
As of the effective date above, optional analytics/marketing tags (if any) are controlled through our cookie banner; rejecting optional cookies limits associated disclosures.
7. U.S. state privacy rights (including California & Oregon)
Depending on where you live, state law may grant you rights regarding your personal information. These may include, where applicable:
California “Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information”: We do not sell personal information for money. If our processing ever qualifies as a “sale” or “sharing” (including for cross-context behavioral advertising) under California law, California residents may opt out using the contact methods below, our cookie controls, and universal opt-out signals such as Global Privacy Control (GPC) where we can honor them. See also Sections 6 and 16 of this Policy.
- Right to know / access: what categories and specific pieces we have collected.
- Right to delete: deletion of personal information we collected from you, subject to exceptions (for example, completing a transaction or meeting legal obligations).
- Right to correct: correction of inaccurate personal information.
- Right to opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information, and of certain uses of sensitive personal information.
- Right to limit use of sensitive personal information (where applicable).
- Right against discrimination for exercising privacy rights (we will not deny goods or services, charge different prices, or provide a different level of quality solely because you exercised a right, unless permitted by law).
- Appeal: if your state provides a right to appeal our decision on a request, you may contact us using the same channels below and ask for an appeal review.
California residents: You may exercise CCPA/CPRA rights by emailing us or calling the number above. We will verify your request in accordance with California law (which may include matching information you provide with information we maintain). You may designate an authorized agent to submit a request; we may require written permission from you and identity verification of the agent. We do not offer financial incentives for data collection.
Oregon residents: If the Oregon Consumer Privacy Act (OCPA) applies to our processing, you may have rights similar to those listed above, including opt-out of certain processing for targeted advertising and profiling in furtherance of decisions that produce legal or similarly significant effects (we do not conduct such profiling as defined under OCPA on this Site). Submit requests using the contact methods in Section 1.
Other states (for example Virginia, Colorado, Connecticut, Utah, Montana, Texas, Delaware, and others with comprehensive privacy laws): If a law applies to us and to you, we will honor applicable rights after verifying your request. Requirements vary by state; we respond consistent with the law that applies to your verified residence.
Nevada residents: Chapter 603A of the Nevada Revised Statutes grants consumers the right to direct certain operators not to sell “covered information” we have collected. We do not sell covered information as defined in that chapter; however, you may still contact us to document your preference.
8. California “Shine the Light” (Civil Code § 1798.83)
California residents may request, once per calendar year, information about personal information (if any) we disclosed to third parties for those third parties’ direct marketing purposes in the prior calendar year. We do not disclose personal information to third parties for their direct marketing purposes as described in this statute; if that changes, we will update this policy and provide a designated request process.
9. Retention
We retain personal information only as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described above, including:
- Contact form and email inquiries: typically up to 24 months after our last response unless a longer period is needed for legal, accounting, or security reasons.
- Server and security logs: typically 90 days or as set by our host, unless extended for incident investigation.
- Cookies: as described in the Cookie Policy; you may clear cookies at any time.
10. Security
We use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect personal information from loss, misuse, unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. These include HTTPS/TLS where supported, access limits, and vendor diligence. No method of transmission over the Internet is 100% secure; you share information at your own risk.
11. International visitors & GDPR
If you access the Site from outside the United States, your information may be processed in the United States where privacy laws may differ from your country. For visitors in the EEA, UK, or Switzerland, we may rely on legal bases such as consent (for optional cookies and certain messages), contract (to respond to your request), or legitimate interests (to secure and improve the Site), consistent with the GDPR. You may have GDPR rights (access, rectification, erasure, restriction, objection, portability, complaint to a supervisory authority). Contact us at the email above. For transfers from the EEA/UK/Switzerland, we use appropriate safeguards where required (such as Standard Contractual Clauses).
12. Automated decision-making
We do not use personal information on this Site for solely automated decision-making that produces legal or similarly significant effects concerning you.
13. Third-party sites & FTC notice
The Site may contain links or embeds to third-party websites, maps, fonts, or icon/font CDNs. Their privacy practices are governed by their own policies; we encourage you to read them. We aim to present information truthfully and in line with Federal Trade Commission (FTC) expectations for clear, non-deceptive disclosures. Content on the Site is editorial culinary information about tea—not professional medical, legal, or financial advice.
14. Changes to this Privacy Policy
We may update this policy to reflect changes in law or our practices. We will revise the “Effective date” at the top when we do. For material changes, we may provide additional notice (for example, a banner on the Site) where appropriate.
15. Email newsletter & the CAN-SPAM Act
If you join our optional email letter, we use your email address only to send that letter and closely related service messages. Commercial email to U.S. recipients is subject to the Controlling the Assault of Non-Solicited Pornography and Marketing Act (CAN-SPAM Act), 15 U.S.C. §§ 7701–7713. Our messages will identify us as the sender, include our valid postal address (see Section 1), and provide a clear way to opt out (unsubscribe) from future marketing emails. We process unsubscribe requests within ten (10) business days or sooner if required. You may also email us with “Unsubscribe” in the subject line from the address you signed up with. Opting out of marketing does not affect one-to-one replies needed to answer a specific question you sent us.
16. Online advertising & landing pages (including Google)
This Site may be shown as a landing page after you click an online ad (for example, in Google Ads or other networks). Ad platforms apply their own policies to ads, extensions, and landing-page experience; we do not control their enforcement. We design on-site copy to be accurate, clearly editorial (not a storefront), and free of disallowed health or “miracle” claims, but approval of any ad or account is solely the platform’s decision. Where we use optional analytics or advertising measurement tags, they are described in our Cookie Policy and controlled through our cookie banner unless strictly necessary for security or basic operation.
17. How to exercise your rights
To submit a privacy request (access, deletion, correction, opt-out of sale/sharing where applicable, or appeal where available), email team@vorghalxjlixil.world or call +1 (541) 345-4132. Include enough detail for us to verify your identity and locate your information. We will respond within the timeframes required by applicable law (for example, generally 45 days for California requests, subject to extension where permitted). For marketing email opt-out, see Section 15.
